Mark Jackson: What coaching across Asia taught me

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
From Australia to Thailand and now Singapore, Mark Jackson has experienced three very different football cultures across Asia.
In this special edition of Continental Corner, the Lion City Sailors head coach sits down with Paul Williams to reflect on his journey from Central Coast Mariners to Buriram United and now Singapore, and what those experiences have taught him about coaching, culture and football across the continent.
Jackson discusses why Asian football remains underestimated, the importance of embracing and understanding local football cultures, the different pressures of coaching ambitious clubs, and what it takes to build a sustainable high-performance environment.
He also explains why his experiences in Asia have given him an appetite to stay in the region – and how high he believes the ceiling can be for Lion City Sailors.
